Missouri is a Midwestern US state at the present time. Missouri is a beautiful place with green forest all over and rich in timber and minerals. Missouri was inhabited by humans for about 12000 years. Many cities mounds cultures went off this land. Early in the 1800, Americans from the upland South enslaved African Americans, rushed into the new Missouri territory. At that time, Missouri was admitted as a slave state as part of the Missouri Compromise. Now what the Missouri compromise actually is? So Missouri Compromise is a legislation that was passed by the Congress in 1819 to admit Maine as a free state to the United States along with Missouri as a slave state in compromise. They actually wanted to maintain a balance of power between the North and South US senate. They Missouri compromise was controversial at that time because there were many who were worried that the country has lawfully divided along sectional lines. A bill was given that was effectively repealed and declared unconstitutional. Due to this, tensions increased over slavery that led to the Civil War in 1961.

It was a compromise made in 1820 between the Free States and the Slave States. The country admitted two new states into the union, Maine and Missouri. Maine would be a free state while Missouri would be a slave state, thus maintaining the balance between these two factions.
